Front Seat Cover Installation Guidelines
Driver and Passenger Side Thank you for purchasing our Model S Seat Covers. Tools required:
• A flashlight and wire cutter • A large wire clothes hanger/ cut to use as a snake
Preparation:
1. Cut a large wire clothes hanger to create a “snake” for routing the seat cover straps. Once you make cuts using a wire cutter (see Figure 1), bend the end of the wire into a tight loop so you can pull the strap clips through.The longer you make the snake, the better.
2. Use the Model S seat orientation controls to raise the seat your working on to its maximum height. This will enable you to more easily route the strap clips under the seat.

Installing the seat cushion cover:
1. Prepare the OEM (Tesla) seat a. Position the seat slightly forward and be sure it’s positioned to its maximum height. b. From the rear seat position, reach under the seat and remove the two clips (Figure 2)
that hold the OEM lower back covering in place.

c. Pull the lower back of the Tesla OEM seat covering upward. d. Turn on the flashlight and inspect under the seat. e. Chart a pathway that you’ll use to route and connect the seat cover straps under the
seat. The path can move over or under OEM hardware and cabling. CAUTION: Be sure the seat cover straps to don’t impede or stress any OEM hardware and cabling.
2. Position the seat cushion cover on the seat cushion
a. Disconnect the seat cover straps b. Loosen all three the seat cover straps (2 front-‐to-‐back straps and 1 rear side strap) so
that they are as long as possible (Figure 3). You’ll tighten them up later. c. Slide the seat cover in place. Use the center seam of the dual smartphone holder as the
centerline to be sure the cover is centered properly.

3. Pull the seat cover over the seat cushion, positioning it over the sides of the seat cushion. 4. Slide the rear seat straps through the gap between the seat cushion and the seat back (you’ll
need to push them through to get them started) a. From the rear seat, reach under the OEM lower back covering and pull the straps
through the gap b. Pull the rear edge of the seat cushion cover through the gap and adjust the seat cushion
cover to fit snugly over the seat cushion. 5. Using the wire snake you made earlier (see Preparation) pull the longer (rear end) of the front-‐
to-‐back seat cover fastening strap forward. a. Be sure to route the snake and strap so that it doesn’t impede or imping on OEM
hardware or cabling. b. Use the flashlight to aid in routing the wire snake and the fastening straps. c. Pull the strap and clip from the back toward the front.
6. Connect the front strap clip to the rear strap clip and tighten by pulling on one or both of the straps.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the other front to back strap. 8. CAUTION: Be sure that the front to back straps do not impede the OEM hardware under the seat. 9. Route side seat cover strap around and under the lower back of the seat cushion.
a. Connect the left and right side seat straps clips and tighten b. All straps should under the seat and not visible by seated passengers.
Installing the seat back cover:
10. Slip the seat back cover over the seat back (note that there are driver and passenger side seat back covers, see step 1a below)
a. Be sure that the side airbag opening is on the outside of the seat (e.g., the driver side seat cover opening for the front seat airbag should be adjacent to the driver side B-‐pillar)
b. Center the seat back cover and pull tight around the back seat shape. c. It’s a good idea to open the rear door window and the pano roof (if you have one) to aid
in placing and positioning the seat back cover. 11. Insert the front bottom of the seat back cover through the gap between the seat cushion and the
seat back (you’ll need to push it through to get it started) 12. Pull the front bottom of the seat back cover through the gap from a rear seat position until it is
snug over the entire seat back a. Be sure the seat back is centered by aligning the piping from the seat cushion cover and
the seat back cover. b. Be sure that the edge of the storage pouch on the back of the seat cover is level with
the floor. 13. Reconnect the OEM lower back covering you removed in Step 1 by reattaching the curved hooks
(Figure 2) to the wire undercarriage of the seat cushion. 14. Fasten the two rear connecting straps at the lower part of the seat back cover (these have two
metal hooks) to the bottom of the seat cushion undercarriage. a. Reach under the seat with one of the rear connecting straps in hand and hook it onto
one of the support ridges under the each. You’ll have to stretch it toward the front of the car until you find a suitable ridge.
b. Repeat for the other rear connecting strap and then smooth and adjust the seat back for the best fit and look.
Repeat Steps 1 – 15 for the other front seat and you work is finished.
